Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Last night’s brilliant win against the open class horses by Don’t Stop Dreaming in the Franklin Cup raises the question of who will win the NZ 3YO of the Year award, him or Merlin. It’s an interesting question too, as they are very close in performance and achievements throughout the season, and in ability too. […]
Given that it’s the last day of the season, we have decided to hand out the Peterprofit.com pacing awards of the year. So here they are. The prize is a free lemonade at the pokies when they are giving them out free. We’d be interested in your thoughts on our selections, and promise to publish […]
There are two Group races on the card at Alexandra Park on New Year’s Eve, the time honoured Group 2 Franklin Cup for pacers at its 77th running and the 33rd running of the Group 3 Greenlane Cup for trotters. The races are worth $60 000 and $50 000 respectively, which is good money for […]
I have lost count of how long we have been telling you that copper cum trot trainer ‘Smoking’ Joe Connolly was red hot, but we have been right from the get go and continue to be correct now. This plod ain’t training straight and clean. That was evidenced once again in the 5th race at […]
A bloke with a nickname like Smoking Joe would simply have no be on fire wouldn’t he? After all, there is smoke without it is there? Fire I mean. Things have to be really hot to get you described as Smoking. Joe Connolly is on fire. He is copper. They’re in the line of it. […]
There were two massive plunges at the trots late this afternoon. Both of them went wrong. The first was in the 1st race at Penrith when the Rex Horne owned Silent Reaction was backed from $26 into $5.50. Those punters who launched the plonk obviously thought the horse would go straight to the lead off […]
Australia’s Top 10 trainers for 2023. Look at who the top 2 are. A picture tells 1000 words. This picture screams 10 000.
Ben Yole trained 45 of the 67 starters on the card at the Burnie trots in Tasmania last night. His father Wayne trained another 4 of them, making it 48 out of 67. If you take out race 5, in which Yole had only 2 runners it makes it , it makes it 43 out […]
Last night at Dubbo the 3-year-old pacer Our Sailor provided a very special Boxing Day present to it’s connections and to those who backed it from double figure odds into $5.50 – presumably one and the same – when it won the 4th race on the card from the breeze. It was a very clever […]
American Me was a talented but rather limited pacer for the first 4 years that it raced. During that time it was trained by Doug Gale and then Gavin Smith. It won 9 restricted races from 61 starts, and earned about $100 grand in prizemoney, less than it cost to train and feed it. Then […]
